10 WARDROBE WANTS: APRIL

A month doesn't go by where I don't make a mental list of the items I've been lusting after, & April was no exception...

Ted Baker Minimalist Metal Clasp Cape - Marl GreyFor all I loved the cape trend, I never purchased one as I couldn't justify spending so much money on one I loved, and all of the cheaper alternatives I saw were lacking in quality. I can't say I'll be purchasing this Ted Baker number, but the £200 price tag tells me the quality will be nothing short of amazing.

Adidas Superstar - WhiteTo say I'm not a 'trainer-type', I've been craaazy over Adidas Superstars this month & I'll definitely be purchasing some in time for my NYC trip this summer. (Tip: If you're a size 5.5 or smaller, you can get these from the Junior section in JD for a cheaper price. Score!!)

Nasty Gal Bueller II Shades
I had a pair similar to these last year from Tesco, but I broke them in Egypt last year and cried a little inside. I've been after some similar ones since so these are high up on my want list.

I've been lusting after the Gianvito Rossi's for so long now, mainly after seeing how beaut they look on Victoria. April saw a few close calls - adding them to my Selfridges bag then removing them when I get to the checkout and realise I can't really afford to spend £500 on a pair of shoes. Maybe another time...

Zara Leather City Bag - BrickI don't know why, but one handled handbags always get to referred to as 'Blair Waldorf bags' in my head?! I love the style and colour of this bag, and it would definitely go with all of my outfits... mainly because all of my outfits are black or nude.

Topshop MA1 Padded Bomber Jacket - BlackWhen these came back into fashion I was desperate to get one but just kept putting it off as I never really found any that I totally loved. This one though!! I'll definitely be making my way into a Topshop at some point this month to try on.

Boohoo Jane Vintage Distressed Mom Shorts - Blue DenimI've got so many pairs of demin shorts I shouldn't even look at the short section on clothing websites, however!! I realised last year that the majority of mine are 'short shorts' & for NYC I'd love some comfortable shorts that I'm not gonna spend half the day trying to pull out of my bum. (TMI, but true)

Aldo Tilley Platform - CognacAdmittedly, I was so in love with these, I caved and purchased them this week; just because I needed another pair of nude heels. I'm wearing them tonight for the first time and I cannot wait. Here's to hoping they aren't another pair that's going to murder my toes one by one.

I saw this as I was casually browsing Boohoo & really liked the look of it. This could be dressed down with some trainers (some Adidas Superstars perhaps..) but quite as easily dressed up with some heels and jewelry. Big love for this one!
